I'm wondering if the way the author glazed over the topic of prostitution was misogynist or harmful.

It's Taisho Era (1900's) Japan, are those districts even known for prostitution anymore?

Then again, wasn't Daki, the main villain, burned alive for refusing sex when she was 12 as a human?

Are there any other ways this anime is misogynist? I'd argue the muteness of Nezuko is balanced by how the main male characters aren't particular deep in their characters or bonds and that characters like the Butterfly Mansion girls exist.
